Owner Operator Work Permit Approved At Peace Arch Border Crossing – July 9, 2021
Kim, CEO of an exploration company, received her Work Permit yesterday at the land border crossing in Peace Arch, Surrey, BC.
Her Owner Operator LMIA was approved early this year and shortly thereafter, Kim was invited to apply for Permanent Residency. Her Permanent Residency application to Canada is currently processing within the Express Entry system. Yesterday, Kim went to the Peace Arch Land Border Crossing between Surrey, BC Canada and Seattle, USA to successfully obtain his Work Permit as CEO and President of her Canadian Company, Apex Rock Energy.
Applying at a land Port of Entry (POE), with an approved Canadian Visa and LMIA, allows for single day Work Permit processing known as a flagpole procedure. CIVS wishes to thank the CBSA Officers for processing the Work Permit allowing Kim to work in her company
Congratulations, Kim! Promises Made. Promises Delivered.
Confirmation of Permanent Residency for our clients
Our clients who are approved under PR LMIA of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program will have a clear pathway to Permanent Residency in Canada through several pathways in Express Entry and potentially Provincial Nomination Programs. If you are an employer hiring a foreign worker, it can provide benefits to your organization by adding internationally skilled and experienced workers.
Foreign Workers through this skills transfer program help to address labour shortages and staffing challenges often faced by Canadian employers in the hospitality industry.

About Study Permit:
Whether you are looking to come for your first undergraduate degree or would like to find a specialization via a Diploma or Certificate, Canada offers a wide variety of programs and resources for International Students.
Canada welcomes thousands of International Students per year and at CIVS we are here to help you transition from your home country directly into any Canadian classroom and online classes.
The Study Permit is a document that Immigration Refugees Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issues to allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLI) in Canada. Most foreign nationals need a study permit to study in Canada and you should apply before you travel to Canada.
Eligibility requirements
You can study in Canada if you are enrolled at a designated learning institution (DLI), prove that you have enough money to pay for your tuition fees, living expenses for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada and have return transportation for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada, you should obey the law, have no criminal record and get a police certificate (if required), are in good health and get a medical exam (if required) and to prove to an officer that you will leave Canada when your study permit expires.
Working in Canada as a student
Most post-secondary students can work on or off campus during their studies without a work permit. To do this, you need to meet all the requirements and check the conditions on your study permit.
Contact us to learn more about the requirements for working on campus, working off campus, working as a co-op student or intern, helping your spouse or common-law partner work in Canada, staying in Canada after graduation.
About the Owner Operator Pathway:
The Owner Operator pathway is an efficient process by which foreign nationals may permanently resettle to Canada by starting or purchasing a business.
For the Owner Operator LMIA investor immigrant pathway, the process can be summarized in the following manner:
- Become a majority shareholder in an eligible Canadian business or prepare to start your own business in Canada.
- Submit an application for an Owner Operator LMIA to ESDC (Service Canada) for approval with the support of a professional RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant).
- Once a positive LMIA has been achieved, apply for a Work Permit through an RCIC with the approved LMIA that will be valid for the next 1-2 years.
- Now that you have a positive LMIA and valid work permit, you can own and operate your business in Canada. During this time, while consulting with an RCIC, you can apply for permanent residency to Canada through Express Entry or a Provincial Nominee Program depending on your credentials and situation.
Of course, before purchasing or investigating starting a business, a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) should be obtained so you can travel in and out of Canada.
The owner-operator LMIA stream may be the best pathway for you and your family to immigrate to Canada, especially if you have an existing business, experience in business, and relatively high net worth. For more information on the Owner-Operator LMIA pathway, please visit the Business Entrepreneur Immigration section on our website or our Blog which has an extensive amount of content and articles to help inform you of the process. Specifically, the article linked here outlines the step by step process for the Federal LMIA Owner Operator Pathway to Permanent Residency for business owners.
